If you’re listening to your music through a DVD player with a digital out into your receiver or surround sound preamp, we can improve your sound substantially on CDs for $700!
DVD players have LOTS of stuff going on. By and large they have tiny power supplies that prevent the sound from becoming robust. There’s digital, analog and of course, video. All this is swimming around the same circuit board. It’s like looking through smog.
Then the sound goes into your receiver with its own over tasked power supply. There are more digital, analog and video signals bouncing around. The multi function DACs aren’t very good on stereo MUSIC. It’s amazing it sounds as good as it does.
The Absolute Sound recently did a review of Rotel’s reasonably priced RCD-1072. It is a pleasure to see that they recognize what a fine CD player can do for your CDs! By doing the decoding and sending an analog signal out of the CD player, Rotel has controlled many of the nasties that can’t be avoided when running through a surround sound receiver. We encourage you to stop in to hear for yourself. RCD-1072 is available in black or silver. We suggest you toss on a nice Kimber Interconnect for the icing on the cake! AUDIO EMPORIUM.COM
